Yes. It has been celebrated for thousands of years. First as a pagan winter solstice and then it was changed by the Catholic Church into Christ Mass in the 1200's. This was a day of prayer and church followed by dinner. The Christmas we know doesn't happen until the 1800's with the publication of A Christmas Carol by Dickens.
